Mine is a Toshiba model drive. I have a Toshiba laptop without a
builtin CD drive, and I can promise Niels is correct. My laptop will
only boot from the Toshiba external drive, and they are expensive :(

I also have a USB floppy drive that may be of use. I'll bring both
along to the next meeting so you can give it a whirl.
